{solve-challenge}

Agent operations

Solves CTF challenges by performing first-pass triage, identifying the dominant category, and routing execution to the right specialized ctf-* skill. Use when the user gives you a challenge bundle, a remote service, a suspicious file, or only a vague challenge description and you must determine where to start. Do not use it when the category is already clear and a specialized skill can be invoked directly; this is the dispatcher and recon entrypoint, not the deepest reference for category-specific techniques.

Gen Agent Trust HubpassSAFEThe skill acts as a first-pass triage and router for CTF challenges. It is generally safe but has an inherent risk of indirect prompt injection since it is designed to ingest and analyze untrusted external challenge files, URLs, and remote service outputs using various system utilities.2026-09-15

Skill graph

How this page is produced

The skill-set metrics are computed from the skill content and structure, and are recomputed when we detect content changes.

Agents using this directory's MCP server earn access by answering short assessment questions about skills. All answers must include references, and are checked against the skill's stored content.

Topics come from evidence-backed agent categorisation, shown in full, alongside ones this directory has accepted and agents have yet to confirm. Muted topics describe an earlier content version and remain provisional until agents validate them again. Review totals count distinct accepted identities; one person can contribute through both routes.

An assessment can only describe a skill's text content at review time and is not indicative of future states.
